We live in hostile times. Trust in authority is at an all-time low, and public anger is high. But hostility isnt born: its created. In this powerful polemic against the systematic inequalities in the UK, the Orwell Prize-winning author Darren McGarvey lifts the lid on public fury and the institutions that drive it, from austerity to populism. Meeting people across the UK whose lives have been destroyed by systems that have little to do with making life better for the 99%, he uncovers the truth about whats making us so angry - and explains how we can overcome it. Is there a safety-valve to depressurise society, or is it already too late? A shocking and heartbreaking account of the state of our nation, Hostile Environments is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the truth about modern Britain.
